The correct answer is C) He believes that sabotage is a rational response to the apartheid system.

The other options of the question were A) He regrets his actions and hopes the court will spare his life. B) He is angry at the government for falsely accusing him. D) He believes that his actions should have no consequences.

The statement best summarizes this quotation of Mandela’s defense is "He believes that sabotage is a rational response to the apartheid system.

Nelson Mandela's quotation was the following: "Some of the things so far told to the Court are true and some are untrue. I do not, however, deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness, nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation, and oppression of my people by the Whites.

Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) was a Sudafrican leader that supported the civil rights of the black people in his countries. After spending 27 years in prison he became the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

What did President Theodore Roosevelt hope to do with his Square deal?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Among the options given on the question it seems the correct answer is option C.

Regulate big business.

Explanation: The "Square deal" was a domestic program which was a plan taken by the US president Theodore Roosevelt to provide equal chance to every one. He was the president of US during 1901 to 1909.

He described his 'Square Deal' program in three basic goals which were conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection.These three demands are often referred to as the "three C's" of Roosevelt's Square Deal. He aimed to help the middle class citizen with giving the equal opportunity to rise.

His plan was also to attack plutocracy and bad trusts while he protected the big businesses from the extreme demand of organized labor.He believed that government should abolish the corrupted connection between big business man and employee.Thus he wanted to regulate the big business with his Square deal plan.

Why did the office of Vice President become more important, with more responsibilities, as the twentieth century progressed?
slava [35]
As the scope of responsibilities of the President of the United States increased during the 20th century, the Vice-President came to be relied upon to handle greater responsibilities also.

A 21st century Vice-President, Joe Biden, said it well:  “The way the world has changed, the breadth and the scope of the responsibility an American president has virtually requires a vice president to handle serious assignments, just because the president’s plate is so very full."  Biden was quoted in the book, The American Vice Presidency: From Irrelevance to Power, published by Smithsonian Books in 2014.  

Another point might be made about 20th century Vice-Presidents -- especially in the latter half of the century.  A number of Vice-Presidents became President because of things that happened to the President.  .  President Franklin Roosevelt died while in office, and  was succeeded by his Vice-President, Harry Truman (in 1945).  Vice-President Lyndon Johnson became President when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.  Gerald Ford rose from Vice-President to President when Richard Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. 

In the current situation of American politics, with partisan politics strongly dividing Congress, Vice-President Mike Pence has functioned a number of times as the tie-breaking vote in the Senate on important matters -- another way the Vice-Presidency has taken on greater responsibility lately.

eimsori [14]

Mary would start with a hypothesis such as, "I believe that plants with no soil will not grow because there are no nutrients coming from the soil for the plant to grow"

Then she would put the plan in place to start her experiment. She will get the same type of seeds, the same amount of water and sunlight. The only difference between the 3 plants is that one plant will have no soil, the second plant will have 1 inch of soil, the third plant will have the correct amount of soil.

She will run the experiment for 2 weeks to see whether the plants have grown and what the conclusion is. She will record how much the plants have grown every day, she will measure the height of each plant.

At the end of 2 weeks, she will gather all her data and come to a conclusion.
